A misspelling magnet

The generator records 13 spelling variants around starting, anadjective. Corpus frequency is #48,675 among 1,185 “S” headwords. Dominant gloss: "de partida, de largada".

Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for starting, with forms such as "satrting", "sstarting", and "staritng". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is best read as a straightforward mapping from sound to letter. The correct Portuguese form is starting, spelled S-T-A-R-T-I-N-G.
